MikesBikes-Intro is an Introduction to Business simulation created by Smartsims.The simulation is unique in that it is flexible enough to be used by students with no prior business education, but is still challenging for more capable students. This is achieved through progressively giving students control over their own virtual company. They will initially focus only on pricing and advertising for a single product. Each subsequent decision period students are given control over additional decision areas. Over the length of the simulation they will be given the opportunity to make operations, distribution and finance decisions; as well as modify and launch new products.MikesBikes-Intro is structured in two phases; Single-Player and Multi-Player. At the start of the course students have access to a practice version of the simulation, the Single-Player, where they compete against a computer opponent. This enables them to learn through trial and error, by testing various decisions and strategies. Students then move onto the competitive version, the Multi-Player, where they are placed into teams to compete against other student teams in the course.Through Market Analysis in the simulation students consider the circumstances of Customer, Competitors and Company Competence [the 3C's] and engage in decisions on Product, Price, Promotion, and Distribution (Place) [the 4 P's] specific to either general business strategy or marketing strategy and implementation depending on the course focus. They are required to analyze data, collaborate with each other, and make decisions just like managers in the real world with their performance being ranked on Shareholder Value against other student teams in their course. MikesBikes-Intro is mainly used in Undergraduate Business Management and Introduction to Business Courses. It is also being using in some Undergraduate Marketing Strategy Courses and in Corporate Training Courses. The MikesBikes software comes complete with full documentation (Instructors and Player's Manuals), online resources (video's, assignments and quizzes), and in-game help files.Students analyze real financial reports and market dataFormulate a comprehensive strategy, starting with a single product focus. As the simulation progresses students can develop new products and release these into emerging marketsStudents compete against others in their course in a Multi-Player environment. The competitive nature of MikesBikes makes the simulation so enjoyable for students, while encouraging involvement and learning in a way that no other teaching methodology canMikesBikes uses a dynamic marketplace so that students must analyze the changing market and understand the needs of their customers, therefore reinforcing the importance of planning, implementation and evaluation of strategy. sales@smartsims.com US: 1-866 700 2333 or 1-877 406 7465 Canada: 1-866 503 9141 www.smartsims.com

MikesBikes-Advanced is specifically suited to MBA and advanced level business strategy courses. It has also been used in management courses such as Operations Management and Organizational Behavior.Participants have full control of the business from the beginning of the game and are responsible for Marketing, Finance, Operations, R&D and HR decisions. They are required to analyze data, collaborate with each other, and make decisions just like managers in the real world with their performance being ranked on Shareholder Value against other student teams in their course. MikesBikes-Advanced has also been extensively used for corporate training with companies including, Microsoft and HP have used MikesBikes-Advanced as a way to offer cross-functional training to middle-managers and rising stars to encourage a better understanding of all the functions that are important in the efficient running of a company. It is usually partnered with MGH/I Textbooks such as Strategic Management, Dess-Lumpkin; Strategy, Thompson-Strickland, but can be used with any textbook of your choosing or if preferred without a textbook. The MikesBikes software comes complete with full documentation (Instructors and Players Manuals), online resources (presentations, assignments and quizzes), and in-game help files. There are two versions within the simulation, a Single-Player version and Multi-Player version. The Single-Player allows students to become familiar with the interface, their opponent is a computer controlled competitor. Students then move onto the Multi-Player version where they are placed into student teams to compete against each other and become responsible for their own virtual online company, making the key decisions each year (decision period) in single or multiple industries consisting of 4 to 7 firms within each for control of the market. Setting up your simulation is easy, all you need to do is email us with your class list with students placed into teams. Once we have these details we enter a standard or custom rollover schedule (when decisions are process each period) the simulation will run automatically with students entering decisions before the rollover date, and then able to view their results immediately after the rollover. The Administrator software allows you as an Instructor to monitor their performance and view summary reports. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like further information.

Ptplot is a plotting package that is based on the xgraph X11 Window System utility written by David Harrison. In addition to supporting most xgraph command line arguments, Ptplot can also download files via the web, handle binary data and handle live animated data. Ptplot can be used as an applet or an application or as a component in a larger program. We include a Bourne shell script and a DOS batch file to run it as an application.
